Slomczynski, Kazimierz
In this project, Slomczynski asks what prompts some local governments but not
others to engage in such symbolic protest. While most research into protest
examines actions such as meetings, demonstrations and strikes on behalf of a
specific constituency, much less attention has been paid to protest within state
structures. Yet such protest can have great influence over national policy,
including security policy.
Slomczynski answers his question by using the rubric of policy innovation, or the
adoption of rules by legislative units for whom those rules are new.

Fink, Carole
Fink hopes to write a balanced history that enlarges our understanding of Ostpolitik and West Germany’s role in the Middle East. In doing so, her book will unite the
history of Central Europe during the Cold War with the contemporary history of the
Middle East, linking the heir to the Third Reich with the homeland of its victims.

Crenshaw, Edward; Jenkins, J. Craig
In “Terror’s Fourth Wave,” Crenshaw and Jenkins focused on ethno-Islamic
terrorism by sampling only countries with a sizeable Muslim population -– either 70
nations with populations at least 10 percent Muslim, or 40 nations at least 50
percent Muslim. The ultimate goal was to determine the motivations for ethno-Islamic terrorism,
and whether these motivations differ by target. Crenshaw and Jenkins found four
triggering factors: a large secular government, greater rights for women,
dependence on Western military support, and a sizeable but not dominant Muslim
population.

Hamilton, Richard; Herwig, Holger
In The Pathology of War Plans, Hamilton and Herwig look at the plans of six
European countries in the buildup to World War I. Austria-Hungary, France,
Germany, Great Britain, Italy and Russia all developed, discussed and tested war
plans. In all six cases, the plans were seriously flawed. Yet all six countries
implemented them anyway.
How did this happen? To answer this question, Hamilton and Herwig have asked six
scholars to review each country’s plans leading up to World War I.

Siegel, Jennifer
In For Peace and Money: International Finance and the Making and Unmaking of the
Entente Cordiale, Jennifer Siegel examines French and British bank loans to Russia
in the late imperial period, up to the Genoa Conference of 1922. The study will
help explain the ways non-governmental players were able to influence policy both
domestically and across national borders in the run-up to World War I.

Crenshaw, Edward; Jenkins, J. Craig
Preliminary evidence shows that rentier states are prone to producing
international terrorism. Using OPEC nations as a rough proxy for rentier
states, one can compare the number of terrorist casualties caused by
perpetrators from OPEC and non-OPEC nations.
